Trump is tearing down key economic engines of North Carolina's Research Triangle. To rein in government spending? No, his budget busting "Big Beautiful Bill" will explode the federal deficit. #ncpol

Former Republican Steve Schmidt asks good questions, makes good points: How will the Iran war end? The American military is powerful, but led by imbeciles starting with Trump, but including Hegseth. They are as unfit as two people can possibly be to lead this nation into conflict. #ncpol

It went from terrible to worse. That's $2.4 TRILLION with a T added each year to the nation's debt if the US Senate passes Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill". Tax cuts for the wealthy that our children will pay for in higher interest rates on home mortgages, monthly car payments and student loans. #ncpol

From the N&O Editorial Board: "Each of these judges has brought shame to the judiciary and embarrassment to North Carolina. All voters should remember their names." Chief Justice Paul Newby Justices Phil Berger Jr, Tamara Barringer & Trey Allen Judges Fred Gore & John Tyson
Griffin didn’t produce evidence of a single illegal vote and the votes he challenged were selectively aimed at voters in Democratic-leaning counties. Yet Newby and three other Republican justices kept the case alive and even affirmed it in part. The Riggs-Griffin race became the last undecided election in the U.S. and a national embarrassment for North Carolina.

If Jefferson Griffin has done NC voters any favors, it's that his legal attempt to steal an election plainly exposed NC Supreme Court Justices Paul Newby, Phil Berger Jr., Trey Allen, & Tamara Barringer and Appeals Court Judges Fred Gore and John Tyson to be partisan actors, not fair judges. #ncpol

Long overdue. Voters must remember Jefferson Griffin - if / when he decides to run for anything again. Jefferson Griffin tried to steal an election. Jefferson Griffin tried to cancel military votes - but only those in counties he lost. Jefferson Griffin is not fit to be a judge - anywhere. #ncpol

"Griffin has wrongly accused at least 30 people of never residing in NC, including 22 in-person voters." And he wants to disqualify overseas military voters registered only in six counties where he lost - and none where he won. Jefferson Griffin is not qualified to be a judge - anywhere. #ncpol
